According ESPN Mexxxxico (link https://www.google.com/amp/www.espn.com.mx/boxeo/nota/_/id/4827800/julio-cesar-chavez-jr-peleara-con-angulo-no-con-maravilla%3fplatform=amp)
Article confirms that Sergio Martinez wants Juilo for November, even tho Chavez Jr is set to face Alfredo Angulo on December 1 in Los Angeles.
If they want that kinda fight, why not do Chavez Jr-Rosado at 170lbs?
Rosado is far less washed up than Angulo (what a statement) and just won a crossroads fight against Tapia. But at 170lbs Chavez Jr would have a nice advantage. You could do the Mexico vs PR angle and everything.
Angulo is too small for 160lbs, let alone the 168+ this fight will surely be at, and hasn't beat a top 100 opponent in like six years. ****ing trash fight.
this is trash Angulo is so washed up it's not even funny. He's coming off back to back losses and 5 losses out of his last 7 fights. And the only 2 wins in that stretch were against unranked club fighters with double digit losses neither of which were even in Boxrec top 500 rankings for their weight classes. He hasn''t had a credible win in like 6 years. And Chavez well....he's Chavez no interest in seeing that clown again.
LOL, but yea its not like you don't got a point.
Chavez is a very sellable name cuz this mfer has been a disappointment Pre-Sergio to many people & Pre-Canelo as well. And I believe Sergio vs JCC Jr is the biggest selling PPV with PPV virgins in the last 20 or so years. And 1M buys is some sh^t only like ~25 Boxing PPV's have reached in its history.
And honestly if this Chavez Jr vs Angulo fight is legit it seems kinda like it has fun fight potential. And Chavez being 2-2 in his last 4 & Angulo being 2-5 in his last 7 don't make it not a potentially fun matchup. I understand its got lil to zero relevancy to people, but a fun fight is a whole other dynamic that I appreciate more than a lot of fans. Hence my enjoyment of potential fights like Molina vs Ortiz that got canceled recently
I agree. If Chavez has to fight somebody it should be a guy on the same level as him. I have no interest in seeing him fight somebody like Benavidez and getting beaten down in a mismatch.
So we went from 2 good rumored undercard fights to this trash?
Was gonna buy the PPv 100% with Tank-Mares and GRJ-LSC on it but now it's a definite pass for me. I'll catch the replay on YouTube or some s h I t.
Alert me when there is something official about Chavez Jr.
This mfer ain't had this many rumors going on at one time ever I don't think.
Why are so many people giving a **** about Chavez Jr out of the damn blue?
Chavez Vs. Angulo just SOLD OUT STAPLES Center
LOL...
But seriously, if this is really supposed to be the co-main, they are misreading Mexican boxing fans. We aint stupid, we know this fight is aged basura.
Chavez Vs. Angulo just SOLD OUT STAPLES Center
Numbers don't lie bro.
Chavez vs Martinez: 475,000 PPV Buys
Canelo vs Chavez: 1,000,000 PPV Buys
Wilder: Zero career PPV Buys
They could really do better than that, latino fans are not stupid. They would obviously want to stack this card with Latino fighters to try and sell this PPV to those demographic but the names mentioned so far might not do it for this event.
But I thought Haymon was going to stack the card doe???
Which never made any sense. I mean he may still put on names like Hurd and Charlo on the UC, but stacking it? No way, not with the type of guarantees Wilder/Fury will want. You can put a Matthysse vs Garcia on the UC when you know the PPV will be doing 2+ million buys. Not the case here, never made any sense.
As for the fight itself? It is a complete joke. I mean I would take it as a FS1 Sunday night card, but on this stage? Nah, but Chavez Jr has a name so Haymon is banking on it helping it increase the buys.
a has been versus a never has been. That's more like it. And some posters thought we were gonna see santa Cruz v Russell and tank v mares on the undercard :lol1: :lol1: this is as good as it's gonna get and if you're lucky u might get to see an old Cuban knock out a bum lower down the bill
You couldn't wait to get on here and throw some Shade at the fight could you ?
if this is a plan to attract the mexican-american ppv buyers, it probably wont work as well as they think
chavez went into survival mode vs canelo and angulo is shot, and some fans will know this
mares vs gervonta was a helluva undercard fight touted for this bill
